Dear John,
A new Mercy For Animals drone investigation captured the heartbreaking wake of a bird flu outbreak at a factory farm.

We documented dump trucks pouring hundreds or thousands of birds at once into massive piles. Their feathers fly everywhere as their bodies collect on the ground. Then a front loader appears to bury them in rows.
Factory farms keep animals so crowded together that when deadly airborne diseases, such as highly pathogenic avian influenza, infect one individual, they can spread rapidly to thousands or even millions of others.
When a disease breaks out, a standard industry practice is to cut losses by killing, or “depopulating,” every animal in the affected facility.
Depopulation takes various horrific forms, from drowning birds with firefighting foam to piping carbon dioxide into sealed barns to cut off their oxygen supply.
You can make a difference for birds at factory farms.
John, call on your members of Congress to pass the Industrial Agriculture Accountability Act (IAA)

, legislation requiring corporations to take responsibility for the pandemic risks they create.

The U.S. food system needs reform. The IAA is necessary to prevent the inhumane depopulation of countless farmed animals and to protect human health.
Thank you for being a voice for farmed animals.
Sincerely,
Luiza Schneider
Vice President of Investigations
